HALF term DOUBLED my will to live! Explain THAT Mathmaticians! (21/02/25)

I'm on my half term off from college right now, and i'm literally treating it like the year is over. I always fall into this trap in the breaks - if i close my eyes the college disappears!! (100% TRUE!!!) But its been a really nice, if hectic week. We have a new puppy in the house, a Blue Merle Collie named Merlin, so the last 3 weeks have been a constant cycle of train, feed, play, and sleep. It doesn't help that our two other animals (Our cat, Mouse (15 years old) and our shih tzu, Molly (10 years old)) Have literally joined forces to shove Merlin in his locker and shake him by the ankles for his lunch money daily. he is LITERALLY the underdog??? (Tips appreciated for suppressing doggy bullying btw! <3)

Aside from that, me and my boyfriend, Dani, went on a wonderful Valentines date on Saturday. We got Asian food and went shopping (100% my ideal date) Below is a cutesy picture from the date :) i love him sm!!!!!

We have another date on Saturday,but this is a stay-at-home chill one. Video games, junk food, comfy clothes,  coke floats and a whole jar of smooth peanut butter to eat with a spoon (That's for me, not him...) We're also exchanging our valentines gifts a week late (We call this Lagentines,cuz we lagged behind (also video game reference for our video game date???? it all aligns!!)

Photography wise, I've done two Architecture shoots for my Component 2 project so far. I am LOW-KEY REGRETTING THIS CHOICE. Like the noble warrior i am i will push forward - HOW HARD CAN IT BE????? Very. Incredibly. Impossibly..... Positive mindset right? Below are a few photos from those shoots! (Portraiture my love how i miss you....)

I've gotten so horrendously deep back into some of my older hyperfixiations. Namely, Stranger Things I've not been obsessed with it since 2022) and The Hunger Games (Its been an on and off obsession since the first time i read the books in 2018!!) Which by the way,SUCH GOOD TIMING ON BOTH??? A new season of ST comes out this year AND the new Hunger Games book next month?????!!!!! My will to live is creeping back slowly <3 P.s ANY season 3+4 ST slander will notttt be tolerated they are my faves!!!!!! This year is such a good year for releases also. Stranger Things 5,Squid Game 3, Ginny and Georgia 3 (Its my guilty pleasure....my most kept secret that i like that show....) Deltarune  3+4, Little Nightmares 3 (Another violent hyperfixiation) 28 Years later, the Minecraft Movie (I am NOT excited.Just gravely curious.) Saw XI, Sunrise on the Reaping AND a new season of Doctor Who???? (I will make a post about my feelings on RTD2 as a classic and nu-who fan sometime!!) This year is the best year for releases omg. I WILL be using these as little milestones to keep myself on this mortal plane!!

I have yapped for far too long, and i want to play Hello Kitty Island Adventure and watch Stranger Things 4 for the 3rd time this week. I will be awkwardly shuffling out of the door now....I leave you with a scan of a rather haunting sketch from my pocket journal i do not remember doing....

-Solly!!
